most NBA players at the 2 or 3 are better defenders and rebounders then DD so what's your point?!

Drummond is a project yes but so is Ross and right now I rather take the rookie who is build like a tank then the twinner rookie who can't drive to the basket or aim at the net.

That's exactly my point, anyone is better!!! And it sure doesn't cost $40 Mil! Look, if they did snag Drummond, then this signing may make sense. But with Ross, he will rot in the pine for the next 4 years to justify this joke of a contract for DD. I'm not disagreeing with you, I just think this kind of money thrown at someone like DD is ludicrous!!!

What really gets me is, he's not even a "Casey" type player. Now, DC will not have a choice but to play him more now. If people thought that the Landry contract was bad, this I think is twice as bad.

I was probably in the minority but was hoping for Nash. The Fields signing didn't bother me much. Not trading Bargnani after so many seasons was odd, but somewhat understood.. however this contract for DeMar - that's just over the top!

I was patient with Bryan.. but not anymore. I really hope we do not pick up his extension. 2012 has been a real disappointment, and the season is only 1 game old.

If it wasn't for the 0-0 at the free throw line I never would have caught the sarcasm. My blood pressure was rising as I thought of missed layups, missed jumpers, blown rotations, and horrible defense on base line screens.

Derozen has shown nothing to say he's worth 10mill/year. Yea ok 15 pts/game...but that's on a below par team where he was given the shots to get that many pts. I was upset before the game...now I'm pissed after watching him struggle the entire night. We're going to be stuck in mediocrity for another 4 years with him on this team.

Unfortunately true. You don't see teams going deep in the playoffs with sub par starting sg's that are below average defenders at best

Ross hasn't showed me anything yet to suggest that he deserve something in this league. Yes you are right, throwing money at DD is ludicrous and it will be a headache for years to come.

Colangelo probably believes that DeRozan is going to breakout this year and would be a tough sign come offseason. That's the only explanation i could think of on why he would sign DeRozan to this kind of contract.

Hope BC is right...and I hope DD still has the need to try harder now that he has his big contract.

When Beasley played for Minni, they didn't panic and say "we got to secure this guy" no they let him play and in the end they saw that he wasn't worth the money and let him go. Beasley just signed a 3 year deal worth 18 million dollars with Pheonix, well below what his agent and him hoped for.
